Steve Franks

Steve is a virtuoso guitarist who specialises in playing the Spanish guitar. He plays in all the styles associated with the instrument including pop, standards, jazz, Latin, flamenco rumba and classical. He is in his element with the pop and standards repertoire, having written many arrangements of popular tunes for both solo guitar and small group settings. His early career saw him performing on the electric guitar in showbands and backing cabaret artists with the occasional stint backing chart acts of the day. Steve now plays the Spanish guitar exclusively and uses it to create all types of music from Bach to Burt Bacharach! He plays sophisticated background music in restaurants, private parties and other events and specialises in playing for weddings - for the entrance of the Bride, during the signing of the marriage register and for the exit procession. Guests can then be entertained by the romantic backdrop of Spanish guitar music during the drinks reception or during the wedding breakfast. Steve has a huge repertoire of popular guitar pieces and is always happy to learn chosen favourites if necessary for performance during an event.
